Micro-CT-derived bone structure indices in ovariectomized rats.
| Week | BMD (mg/cm) | BVF (mg/cc) | Tb.Sp (mm) | Structure of model index |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 237.70 ± 57.00 | 0.45 ± 0.22 | 0.24 ± 0.15 | −1.27 ± 6.27 |
| 4 | 133.90 ± 58.72 | 0.27 ± 0.11 | 0.44 ± 0.30 | 1.48 ± 0.22 |
| 8 | 97.25 ± 32.36 | 0.19 ± 0.06 | 0.64 ± 0.25 | 1.62 ± 0.23 |
| 12 | 73.53 ± 26.21 | 0.15 ± 0.05 | 0.82 ± 0.27 | 1.60 ± 1.14 |
BMD: bone mineral density; BVF: volume fraction of bone; Tb.Sp: trabecular space; structure of model index and ratio of plates to rods in cancellous bone, where 0 indicates all plates and 3 indicates all rods.
